iPads, MakerEd and More in Education

As we seek to enhance instruction with technology, one tool we might not think of is podcasts. These can be used in flipped classrooms or blended learning models in the same way you might use videos: to deliver content, provide enrichment, or explain topics in a different way for students who don’t get a concept the first time around. As podcasts become a more popular medium, a growing number of them are being produced just for kids. Today we’re going to look at eight of them that you can share with your students tomorrow.

Do you want to get your learning on? In an easy way  – so simple you can do it in your car on the way to work? Podcasts are the perfect learning tool! I must say that I am a little obsessed with podcasts and can’t get enough of them. To help educators stay up to date with some of the great choices out there – here is a list curated with the help of my Twitter and FB friends. I have listened to every one of the podcasts to vet them –  and they are ALL amazing! We start with the top five people seem to love the most, some other great  and inspirational choices and then three non-educator podcasts I personally can’t live without.
